    Peoplesoft and Active Directory: Peopletools 7.X

    Uploaded by

    Manish Bahety
    PeopleTools 7.x does not integrate with Active Directory and instead uses an internal database for authentication. PeopleTools 8.1 introduced integration with LDAP directories to enable single sign-on across PeopleSoft applications using existing directory credentials. However, PeopleSoft's directory interface can only authenticate against one directory tree, limiting its use under the University of Houston's environment which has four Active Directory implementations.

    PeopleSoft and Active Directory

    PeopleTools 7.x
    PeopleTools 7.x does not have any integration with Microsoft Active Directory.
    PeopleSoft applications are authenticated against an internal database table for Operator
    ID and password, and each Operator ID is assigned to various Security Classes. Every
    user of PeopleSoft are given a PeopleSoft Operator ID and password per PeopleSoft
    application (i.e. FS and SA are two separate PeopleSoft application modules; hence, they
    each maintain its own security table inside their database). During development stage of
    FAST project, Technical Advisory Group (TAG) has established PeopleSoft Operator ID
    naming standard across both FS and SA application.

    PeopleTools 8.16 (Current Tools release for Student Administration 8 Application)


    By default, PeopleSoft 8 security is handled by authenticating against an internal
    security database, just as it is in PeopleSoft 7. Concept of Security Class in PeopleSoft 7
    has changed slightly and is now referred as Security Roles in PeopleSoft 8. However, the
    overall implantation of application security in 8 is analogous to 7.
    What’s new in PeopleTools 8.1 is the integration of PeopleSoft security with
    LDAP(Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) directories to authenticate directory users.
    This allows PeopleSoft user’s credentials be validated against the directory; hence
    leveraging pre-existing authentication data in an LDAP directory service and achieve
    Single-Sign-On across multiple PeopleSoft applications. Furthermore, user data that is
    typically used in a LDAP directory (such as name, phone number, and email address) can
    be updated instantaneously or on batch interval when information changes in PeopleSoft
    database.
    Some special notes pertain to UH-specific environment and PeopleTools
    Directory Interface implementation limitations:
     PeopleSoft Directory Interface includes directory schema extensions relevant to
    the HR application. The extensions add two Object Classes (psftPerson and
    psftJob) as well as several Attribute Types to the AD directory. These extensions
    are not required to deploy PeopleSoft Directory Interface, but using them may
    simplify publishing data from PeopleSoft HR system to the AD directory.
     PeopleSoft delivered LDAP Authentication interface can only authenticate against
    one Directory tree. Under UH environment, where at least four directory trees
    (four AD implementations) exist, integration of PeopleSoft and multiple LDAP is
    only possible with customization to application sign-on process in PeopleCode.
    However, such customization is beyond normal support provided by PeopleSoft
    Global Support Center.

    PeopleTools 8.41 (Current Tools release for Financial 8 Application)


    PeopleTools 8.41 did not add additional features to the PeopleSoft Directory
    Interface; hence LDAP authentication limitation for PeopleTools 8.16 still applies here.
